I can only imagine how much he hated the attention (if that's what it was) was for such a desperate move to delete his own game (and the irony that this is just as news-worthy as creating a popular game).

Definitely don't approve of all the people shouting their "fuck you"s, but quite frankly I can't imagine the rationale for taking the game down either (but I'm sure it's justified).

This really gets me down. I hate how intensely angry people can get (especially on the internet) over something that really shouldn't be a big deal. Sure, I can understand some disappointment, but it's his game, he can do what he likes. Those responses make me see why he might have wanted to withdraw in the first place.

If someone told me tomorrow that (somehow) I could never play Ocarina of Time ever again (which is my all-time favourite game), I still wouldn't get as worked up as these people are. I just don't get it.
